Astronomical calibration of the Serravallian/Tortonian Case Pelacani section (Sicily, Italy)

Preliminary paleomagnetic data suggest that a secondary remagnetization component prevents the recognition of the correct sequence of paleomagnetic chrons along the studied interval. The sedimentary record has been compared, on the basis of an integrated calcareous plankton biostratigraphy, with that of the Gibliscemn section.
